All of Jenn McKinlay’s Books in Order!

Who is Jenn McKinlay?

Jenn McKinlay is an American author, a New York Times, USA Today, and Publisher’s Weekly bestselling author of several mystery and romance series. When Jennifer was a kid, she wanted to be a jockey, but she was already too tall at age nine. She thought about becoming a writer after seeing the movie Romancing the Stone, mostly inspired to be like Kathleen Turner’s character.

She studied English Literature and Library Science at the Southern Conn State University and then worked full-time as a librarian. To be able to write, she decided to move to a more affordable place, in Arizona, in order to take a part-time job and began to write romance novels. She also met her husband and had a boy.

Her first book was published in 2005, and Jenn McKinlay discovered soon that she was better at killing people than making them fall in love. After that, she wrote several mystery books, leading her, in time, to write the Cupcake Mystery series, Library Lover’s Mystery Series, and the Hat Shop Mystery Series. She recently returned to the romance genre, following her editor’s advice.

The Orphans Series in Order: How to read V.C. Andrews’s books?

By the writer of the Cutler series and the Logan series.

What is The Orphans Series about?

A best-seller writer in the Gothic horror and family saga genre, V.C. Andrews died of breast cancer in 1986. Since then, books under her name are still published, but they are all written by ghostwriter Andrew Neiderman.

At the end of the nineties, the writer released a new family saga, The Orphans consisting of four novellas and a full-length novel. It follows four teenage girls—Butterfly, Crystal, Brooke, and Raven— who meet in a Fear Orphanage, with each book retracing one of the girl’s tragic stories, and the last book to tell their last adventure.

This is a departure from the previous V.C. Andrews’ series, which were five-novel sagas (with the last one being a prequel).

The Logan Series in Order: How to read V.C. Andrews’ books?

By the writer of the Cutler series.

What is The Logan Series about?

V.C. Andrews was an American writer best known for her best-selling book Flowers in the Attic. Her novels were popular enough that after she died in 1986, her estate hired a ghostwriter, Andrew Neiderman, to continue writing novels under her name. Now, Virginia Andrews’s name is considered a valuable commercial asset, and Andrew Neiderman has written numerous books under her name.

This is the case with The Logan series, published between 1996 and 1999. This twisted family story follows Melody Logan, a young woman from a West Virginia trailer park, who left her home with her mother following her father’s death.

She meets her father’s family at Cape Code with whom she now must live and soon has to deal with her relatives’ secrets they all prefer to forget. As often in V.C. Andrews, the books contain incest, super religious family members, and a young girl with absentee/dead parents forced to live somewhere new.

Coming soon on Lifetime!

What is The Cutler Series about?

Lifetime has found success with adaptations of V.C. Andrews’ novels. After the recent adaptation of The Landry series, with V.C. Andrews’ Ruby Movie Series Event, the channel has announced that it will develop Andrews’ five-part Cutler series for the screen.

Like the Landry series, The Cutler Series is actually not written by V.C. Andrews but by Andrew Neiderman, the ghostwriter hired by her estate to continue to write novels to be published under her name (Virginia Andrews’s name is considered a valuable commercial asset). V.C. Andrews had started writing the first book in the series, and Neiderman finished it.

Published between 1990 and 1993, The Cutler series retraces the dark history of the Cutler, Booth, and Longchamp families. The story begins by telling us the twisted tale of Dawn Longchamp, whose entire world crumbles after the sudden death of her mother.

By the writer of Flowers in the Attic.

What is The Casteel series about?

Published between 1985 and 1990, The Casteel series was the second novel series written by V.C. Andrews, after The Dollanganger series. Andrews wrote the first two books and started the third, but didn’t finish it. The series was completed by Andrew Neiderman, the ghostwriter hired by her estate following her death to continue to write novels under her name.

The Casteel series tells us the story of the Casteel family, the least regarded of all the families living in the poverty-stricken foothills of the mountains of West Virginia.

Despite that, Heaven Leigh Casteel was still the smartest girl in the backwoods and determined to redeem her family name. However, her dreams become deferred the day her stepmother flees and her selfish father Luke sells her and her four siblings to different families.

Heaven is sent to live in the home of Luke’s deranged ex-lover, Kitty, who torments Heaven as Kitty’s husband, Cal lures Heaven into a forbidden relationship while she fights to reunite her siblings.

A werewolves story with action and romance.

What is the Alpha & Omega series about?

The Alpha & Omega series is an urban fantasy series written by Patricia Briggs. The story follows werewolves couple Charles Cornick and Anna Latham and is set in the same universe as the Mercy Thompson series. It is considered a companion series, and to know more about its place next to Mercy Thompson’s story, check out our Mercy Thompson reading order.

Charles is the first-born werewolf, meaning he is born a werewolf, as opposed to Changed. He has all the strength, speed, pack magic, protections, senses, and regenerative powers as other werewolves. He can also change faster than any other werewolf. Anna Latham is originally a member of one of the two Chicago packs, in which she was abused for years. She is an Omega werewolf, and these werewolves are highly valued because they have a soothing, calming influence on other werewolves. B
